The rapid integration of google workspace tools in higher education has the potential to transform education. To fully realize this potential, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence educators' attitudes and intentions toward adopting these tools. However, current research has mainly focused on specific contexts, highlighting the need for a comprehensive examination in different educational settings. This study delves into the complexities of the Technology Acceptance Model and expands its scope by considering additional external variables. Data was collected through an online survey, with 396 educators sharing their perspectives and intentions regarding google workspace tools. We used composite-based structural equation modeling, implemented by the SEMinR package in the R programming language, to rigorously assess the measurement and structural models of the constructs. The study's findings reveal significant relationships among the factors that shape educators' perceptions and behaviors in relation to google workspace tools. Notably, all paths show significant influence, except those connecting social influence to perceived usefulness and ease of use to attitude. Additionally, the research identifies the moderating impacts of gender, which do not significantly contribute to the observed relationships. This study contributes substantially to the growing knowledge of technology adoption in higher education. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights that can benefit educators, institutions, and policymakers who want to leverage the potential of google workspace tools for teaching and assessment. Lastly, the study provides clear directions for future research in this area.
